A Capitol Idea Realized!
CSA: Day at the Capitol – Sacramento
On May 10th, the California Sign Association led a group of its members, business, and community leaders to Sacramento for a Day at the Capitol.
The delegation gathered at the Old Spaghetti Factory late that morning to prepare their unified voice of talking points. These topics were focused on items relevant to the on-premise sign industry and doing business in California. Following a fabulous lunch, thirteen CSA members, along with legal counsel and staff, broke into teams, headed to the Capitol, and met with numerous Capitol Representatives from the Assembly and Senate! It was a wonderful opportunity for CSA to have a seat at the Legislative Table!
